Arjun Tanwar is drawing praise for his debut role as Purvak, a deaf and mute accountant, in the recently released whodunnit Detective Sherdil, now streaming on ZEE5. Sharing the screen with established actors like Diljit Dosanjh, Boman Irani, Banita Sandhu, and Diana Penty, Arjun’s performance has been noted for its sensitivity and quiet strength.

Arjun Tanwar reflects on working in Detective Sherdil, fulfilling a 10-year-old prophecy from Diljit Dosanjh: “Making my debut in a film headlined by him, it’s surreal”

But few know that this onscreen debut is also a moment of destiny fulfilled. An excited Arjun recalls, “Almost ten years ago, I used to go to the same gym as Diljit paaji. One day, he looked at me and told me I would become a big actor someday. That moment stayed with me. And as destiny may have it, making my debut in a film headlined by him, it’s surreal.”

Diljit’s encouragement continued offscreen too. Arjun said, “During one emotional scene, I felt I could do better and asked for a retake. Diljit paaji immediately said, ‘Let’s do it.’ His support really boosted my confidence.”

Besides acting, Arjun is also an accomplished singer. He even opened for Himesh Reshammiya at the sold-out Capmania Tour earlier this May. But it’s his turn as Purvak, boyfriend to Shanti (played by Banita Sandhu), that is now turning heads.

With multiple projects in the pipeline, Arjun said, “Abhi toh bohot kuch karna baaki hai. I’m just grateful for all the love and for this incredible start”.
